This week, the Infrastructure Security Compliance Division (ISCD) updated its Chemical-Terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI) webpage to include a reference to the Executive Order signed by President Obama last year regarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The CUI Program will standardize the way the Executive Branch manages sensitive unclassified information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls.

The updated webpage states that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the agency designated to oversee implementation of CUI, has acknowledged the success of the CVI Program and has stated its intention to approve CVI as a category of CUI. However, DHS has indicated that the CUI markings should not be implemented until appropriate policies have been developed and training provided, and CVI Authorized Users should continue to use existing CVI markings until notified otherwise.
